But the other boys do make appearances it's just easy to keep to minimum of characters lol
Chan x oc
This is my first ever fan fiction so if it's shit soz.
Chapter 2 - professional
I run quickly back into the hall, trying to avoid the group approaching. I just manage it. I find Jenna and pull her into a corner.
"It's them!"
"What?" Her brow burrows with confusion.
"Stray kids. You were right, well 3 of them. The producing unit." A smile appears on her face as she revels in this only way a best friend could.
"That includes the leader doesn't it?" That's why she was smirking. She knows my phone wallpaper is a photo of him. " he's you fave isn't he? Sorry bias." The shit eating grin on her face would be funny if I wasn't shitting bricks. "You should probably change your phone background" she giggles.
I change it to a picture of my mum and me on holiday in London.
" okay breaks over, Y/N it's your solo." Jonathan calls over. I clamor off the bleachers and make my way to the centre. Jenna and I run our few lines of dialogue before the routine and then the doors to the right of me quietly open and they walk in.
I have to be professional but every fibre of my being is telling me to stop cause I'll make a fool of myself. The music starts, it's some old 70s pop song, and I'm kicking and moving just like I'm supposed to. I'm shimmying and moving my hips to the rhythm and after a few minutes the music ends. Everyone claps. I love working in such a encouraging environment.
I take a few to catch my breath and it happens. I see Ryan leading them over to me, Jenna and tash and we're trying not to freak out.
"Y/N!" He greats me with open arms which I happily hug into.
"Ryan!" I let go " and Blake! It's so good to see you in the flesh again" I say as I pull her into a hug.
"And here are the movies musical composers. Y/N I know you know of them" He says teasingly nudging me in the arm.
"Composer's? That's so cool!! My favourite band, doing the music for my favourite books film, produced by my favourite person and her husband!" Blake and the 3ratcha boys smirk whilst Ryan sarcastically laughs. " I'm Y/N" I say to the boys with an outstretched arm.
" changbin" He says as he shakes my hand
"Jisung, or Han, or Peter if you want!?" Han says almost like the words are falling out of his mouth.
"Chris!" There he is. I make eye contact as he holds my hand. I must be delusional as a feel a spark. Need to take my anti delulu meds.
" yeah I know you guys. I'm a big fan. A stay!" I say awkwardly as if I haven't been hyper fixated on them for the past 3 years.
" That's so cool!" Chan says, his Australian accent standing out amongst the sea of Americans I'm now used to hearing.
"You're not American?" Changbin asks me
"English, from near Yorkshire. But I do have an American accent in the film" I say slipping into the accent.
"That's so cool. People tell me I sound English when I speak English." Han chimes in.
"Maybe southern English, but like London not Essex or cornish." I reply.
" there's different ones?" Ryan jokes.
I'm keeping my cool, but I can't help but feel hot under Chris's gaze. Or what I think is his gaze, I haven't looked at him since I introduced myself, but I can feel his eyes on me. I shoot a look and smile in his direction. He was looking. Fuck. I'd prefer it if I was just being Deluded, but no, he's staring at me and once I make eye contact he smirks. Fuck this man.
"So they'll be spending a few weeks here on set getting to really feel the heart of the film. To really understand the characters and their relationships" Blakes words break through my spiralling.
"That sounds so fun! We'll have to show you round!" Tash suggests. She's become quite the stay in the past few minutes. What can I say, these boys have an effect on people.
"That's lunch" Jonathan yells.
The hoard of crew and cast make their way to the dining area, I trail behind trying to come to terms with the fact this is my life. Blake joins me at the tail.
"You feeling better today?" She asks. In all the excitement I'd completely forgotten the complete melt down I'd had last night. I went to bed as soon as I got in and cried myself to sleep. I wish there was a reason why, but there isn't. I should be happy. I am. I've got my dream job! Yet I still feel empty.
"Yeah" I say trying to reassure her, it doesn't really work. "I'm sorry I rang you so late last night, it must've been a pain in the arse" the apology rushes out my mouth. She stops me and looks at me in the eyes, as she places her hands on my shoulders.
"No. Stop dismissing how you feel. There is no need to apologise. I'm here for you" she says pulling me into a hug. In her arms I feel myself let go of tension I didnt realise had built up.
I wish my mum was here. She'd hold my hand through all of this. I'm too scared to tell her anything is wrong, cause she can't do anything from back home and I know she'd get on the next plan over. I can't do that to her. She has a life outside of me and I need to prove to myself I can do this on my own. Plus I'm scared I'd seem ungrateful.
Blake let's go, but loops her arm through mine.
"Now let's get lunch!"

review 2023
it's been ages since i dropped a post here; couldn't make time for entries ever since working multiple jobs!
2023 was filled with challenges, struggles, and tears; reflecting on it, the year was all about self-healing.
during the first half, couldnt escape the lingering depression, despite trying my best efforts to live life to the fullest; then come the second half, i inevitably had to face those demons head-on
the effects of the devastating event from last year haunted me for what felt like an eternity; fortunately, making the phone call did help and marked the start of my fifth stage of grief
learning to let go, live in the moment, and stop blaming myself hasn't been easy; still, i've tried to embrace the tough times, keep practising, and allow myself a good cry when things got overwhelming
navigating life, especially with some unpleasant inborn traits, isn't a walk in the park.. watching more and more friends tie the knot in recent years, I often wonder how everyone seems to effortlessly sail through life's milestones; why everything seems to fall into place, and all they have to do is kick back and enjoy?
despite past relationship setbacks and an uncertain future, my life goals remain clear: to have freedom—both in the tangible world and within my mind
i still dream to
be a fluent english speaker
build my own business
have cosmetics treatment as desired
travel annually
dance like a pro
become a housewife
learn korean and japanese
.. i hold onto those aspirations tight; slow and steady, with kindness to myself, is the game plan
nowwwwwww, a nod to this year's milestones
March
helped out a new friend with her booth at a commerce fair
landed a costume design project
April

take a moment to jot these down—it's a good reality check; it reminds me that i've done more than I often give myself credit for :)

Top Three Destinations
Brisbane, Australia
London, UK
Manchester, UK
Top Three Binge-worthy Shows
The End of the F***ing World
Shrinking

Tunes
didn't delve deep into the music pool, but Nishina's 2021 solo concert "Hatsu" was absolute fire.. made me want to head off to Japan, even though it wasn't high on my list
and a year-end surprise, Sia's "Everyday is Christmas"—straight to the feels
living in the UK has been the best thing that happened in my life so far; if there's one wish, it's to settle down here🤞
it's been a journey, but it's time to say goodbye to 2023; i look forward to a fantastic 2024
